Jack Whittaker also won a $300 million lottery and blew it all on strip clubs and drugs from his family.

Love that the first reply is hating on a man who passed away, and it’s not even the right person. Never change MSB

Great familiar voice from my youth.
RIP Jack.

Made the mistake of referring to the Augusta crowds as a mob.

Great old school announcer. Class act from the past.

Smart and witty commentary, but not wormy and a kiss-arse like the latter of this genre, Bob Costas.
Another mainstay of my childhood passes away.

Jack Whitaker, a sportscaster for CBS and ABC who called Super Bowl I and Secretariat’s Triple Crown triumph, has died. He passed Sunday morning in his sleep in Devon, Pennsylvania of natural causes at age 95.
Perhaps his biggest triumph was surviving the Omaha Beach landing three days after D-Day. He was wounded by a blast from an artillery shell and later was again wounded in combat. He was honorably discharged in 1945.
Rest In Peace

Class act, or at least seemed so to me. A favorite voice of my childhood.

I also heard that he was suspended from calling the Masters for 5 years because he called the gallery a "mob"
Those folks at Augusta National really had a stick up their arse back then.
